FuturePlay Capital - Investment Support from Seed to Growth Stage

Capital

Capital is not just money, It's the momentum that accelerates your vision into reality

A challenge once deemed impossible, the first step of belief

When everyone said it was impossible, FuturePlay was the first to believe in Innospace's dream. This one step became a decisive turning point that led to follow-on investments and global space market challenges.

Beyond investment, a partner that designs funding

For hardware startups, a funding gap means standstill. Starting with FuturePlay's seed investment, MedInTech found realistic growth solutions through a funding structure design that bridged the gaps between investments—from TIPS to Scale-Up TIPS to MOTIE R&D projects. As a result, they were able to maintain their growth momentum without interruption.
